The X-Factor

Larry during x factor needs appreciation. Which i why i made this post.

It is of course relevant to start with the very first Larry moment, which also happens to be the very first 1D moment:

 

Now that was adorable enough in itself, especially considering the fact that they barely even knew each other then.
This was right before that icoic moment:

This next claim isn't as bulletproof as a lot of the other evidence, but take a look at these photos and tell me you do not see an even earlier larry-moment happening here at the boot camp:

As you might find loads of recent Larry-moments caught in interviews amusing and adorable, i would suggest that everybody  checks out the boys very first video diaries from the time they were on x factor. I'll also be leaving links to all of their strange backstage games and whatnot during TXF. There is literally no limit to the amounts of love stares, love bites, cute smiles and adorable laughs between fetus Hazza and Lou.
Here is a link to all of the video diaries, which i suggest you watch if you want these moments in context.

This happens to be my all-time favorite Larry moment, because... look at them. The video diaries are gold:

Then there is this moment:

Which is just precious. (Also, please note niall's eyebrows hahahaha)
This weirdly romantic high five also happened during the video diaries:

Which resulted in Louis trying to hide his enormous fond smile by turning his head into the wall and Harry looking like he just won every price imaginable.

Now there is a lot of video diary moments to point out, because there is basically no time at all in them that are not LarryAF. I mentioned these three because they are outrageously cute. 

Alongside the video diaries and during the their time on the x factor the boys also created a considerable amount of absolutely out there gameshow-like videos which they posted on youtube. Here is a link for my personal favorite, "Spin The Harry".There is also the kind of completely disturbed show Megaminds and the even weirder but incredibly funny Quickfire, in which Harry wins every time, regardless of whether he's even in the competition or not. (keep in mind that Louis is the host in all of these shows).
While there is a lot of cute Larry moments  in those, I've chosen to just leave the links here, as you might as well just watch the shows because every single moment is basically Larry AF.

There's them being like this during an interview with all the contestants:

Asides from youtube videos, performances and video diaries, there is still a lot more l&h stuff from their time on x factor. Like for example this adorable cuddle: ( can't find where it's from... anyone??)

Or this very real show of appreciation of Harry's cute dimply cheeks:

 Or these mutual flirty moments when describing each others outfits:

And then of course there's the iconic kiss-me-you-fool moment:

Not to forget this adorable nose-lick:

There's many cute interviews from txf too. Around 10:00 in this collection of x-factor 1D moments an interview starts which i find hold a bit of significance, despite everyone's tendency to ignore it. First of all Harry and Louis just stares fondly at each other throughout the entire interview. When the interviewer says somethings about the band living together in the x factor house and "messing around", Niall, Liam and Zayn all laugh while looking at Harry and Louis who seems to find the choice of words quite funny too.
It might be irrelevant by itself, but also note how they answer the question about the girls.

As for Harry and the golden thong...
i actually  don't even know what to say about that.
Nevermind.

There's also the interview were they are like this and it's unfair:

There's this crop which doesn't even look like a crop, because Harry and Louis were posing completely isolated from the other band members anyway:

There's also these:

Also note that this almost-proposal actually happened:

And this kiss with masks on:

they also acted this way when they thought nobody was taking pictures:

(A fan actually tweeted the picture saying something like "i saw harry and liam from 1d today" and louis actively tweeted her back, saying it was actually him with Harry)


The only version i could find of this next pic had "yolo" on it, sorry:

I don't see that picture floating around everywhere and i don't know who's the source. please inform me if it's a manip... that would be embarrasing.

Let's also just remember this flushed fetus Harry answering questions backstage:

And him answering "It's Mutual. We've discussed it," to the question of how Louis feels about him.

Besides Louis' and Harry's obvious affection for each other and their absolute inability and unwillingness to hide their realtionship, it's also noteworthy to take a look at some rumours flowing around on social media and gossip sites at the time of the events. Take a look at this twitter coversation between a fellow TXF contestant and an early larry-shipper:

Now wagner may be a kind of crazy source of evidence, because, well, he is just sort of crazy. But...Paired with the rumours of a "same-sex-relationship" in the contetants house, which the production were allegedly trying to interfere with and the fact that  Louis disappeared from the contestants house, it suddenly seems like quite a legit piece of evidence.
Wagner later claimed that he was talking about world conpiracies. (later as in about two years later, completely out of the blue, in the middle of 1D being marketed in the US) 

There was so much adorableness, so here's some more random pic and gifs of Larry being cute during x factor:

Then there's this moment where they're at harrys familys home, and this happens:

Before reading the next part, which is primarily (but not only) about performances, you could watch this complete selection of 1D performances on X Factor '10.
They were like this when they performed (and just..did things in general):

Which were nicely complemented by acting like this after performances:
